Solas is very good. Lunasa is fantastic and one of the top band out there now but my favorite is Patrick Street. I got tons as I luv acoustic music and I am as Irish as Paddy Murphy's Pig which helps too.

Patrick Street is an awesome group as well. I saw them at the Bottom Line in NYC. I think it was in 97. Jimi Hendrix has been described as the Jackie Daly of the guitar! Has everyone heard De Danann's The Star Spangled Molly cd. Has the lovely Maura O'Connell on vocals and a great selection of tunes from the 1910 -1920s. Might be my all time favorite traditional music record.
